| Hemm - Hair Electronic, Pop, Atmospheric, Chill | 06/02/2019 |
Hemm are Melbourne-based duo Juice Webster and Robert Downie. Their intimate electronic songs explore the everyday complexities of connection in life and love.
Hair picks up the thread laid by late-2018 single Skin, acting as further evidence of Hemm's quiet transformation into virtuosos of minimalist ambient pop.
It is a breathtaking lesson in minimalism, with every element tuned deliberately to the track’s purposeful narrative. “You are not who you seem to be,” intones Juice, as the track blooms into a sublime choral climax.

| Hemm - Skin Electronic, Pop, Chill, Ambience | 17/11/2018 |
Melbourne-based duo Hemm (Juice Webster and Robert Downie) make intimate experimental pop that connects to the heart. Their songs explore the everyday complexities of connection in life and love.
Skin was written about the last moments of a relationship. When you know it’s over, but there are those last minute desperate feelings which rise to the surface. Feelings which make you want to be close to that person one more time. Feelings which make you want to go back to the beginning, just for a moment.
| Hemm - Emerging With The Day Electronic, Pop | 10/08/2018 |

Emerging With The Day is a perfect introduction to anyone new to both the sound and ethos of Hemm. Blissful layers of synths and beats cascade over each other, until Juice and Bobby’s voices cut through to ask a disarmingly simple question: “Will you remind me what it’s like to love?”
| Braille Face - Fallen Electronic, Pop | 06/07/2018 |
Braille Face is Melbourne producer and songwriter Jordan White, who has established himself as one of the most compelling voices to emerge from Melbourne's vibrant and diverse electronic music scene.
Fallen is driven by a miltant drum beat that contrasts the swirling pads and choral style vocals, while a jazz/funk bass line holds it all together. The song's power lies in its lyrical content and phrasing, as well as it's olid groove, as it marches on while declaring 'this world has fallen...'.

"The sounds that made this track were captured on Rarotonga, of the Cook Islands. It’s a stunning place. The green lush forest, crystal waters, the people and the tremendous sense of community. One of the key samples in this was taken during a church service, sung by a local choir."
